Is it OK to be liberal again, instead of progressive?

Come out of the closet, liberals. Stop using the fashionable euphemism "progressive" and relaunch the old, tarnished L-word.

    WTF is wrong with Ho Chi Minh!?

    Seriously, is it the fact that he didn't want his country to be under the rule of the French? The fact that he dared to win a war the U.S. futilely fought in his country? The fact that we were so scared of communism that we were willing to fight AGAINST another people's freedom to protect ourselves from it?

    Get a life, dude. Castro = seriously messed up. HCM, while not a perfect leader, clearly, at least had the guts to lead his country to freedom from the French. I can't really believe you think that French colonialism was a good thing. Ugh, color THIS liberal unimpressed with your lame article.
